Tucked away on a side road that's nearer to civilization than it appears from the map, Salem Garden…read moreand Gift shop offers a selection of plants and gifts in quiet, almost rural setting. I spent about a half hour, but could have spent more, perusing the late season plants and arrangements. Despite the cold weather, the late season plants held up really well. I saw a white potted kale plant that would be a pretty accent piece in an arrangement. I kept returning to look at it, wondering if it was meant for eating or decoration, and decided decoration. Definitely decoration. Some of the pre-potted arrangements were cute in their burlap wrapped pots. Very creative and yet very simple. The plants were well marked and prices easy to find. What I noticed right away was how reasonably priced things were. I can't believe I've never stopped here before. I've driven by it lots of times and have seen it overflowing with plants and vegetables and people and cars. Now I know why. Salem Garden can accommodate the do-it-yourself gardeners and those who prefer others to handle the garden maintenance and landscaping. There's a small house on the property holding gifts such as candles from beeswax and soy as well as bags made from recycled plastic shopping bags and some jewelry and artwork. The hours vary by season but if you see something you absolutely must have, the owners have thoughtfully left instructions on the front door on how you can get what you need. Because there are always those who take advantage, you'll have to stop by and see for yourself how they accomplish it.

Lots to look at, trees, bushes, soil, flowers, pumpkins, herbs, pots and lots of garden supplies and seeds inside. The staff was nice, it was 4 not 5 for prices.

I will say the plants are healthly and the garden is nice and it isn't a big box store so I will more picky but still fully support.

The following weekend, Tom, Emily and Will helped me figure out what would be the best way to handle an issue that was unexpected.

The weekend team at Apex are professional and helpful. I would recommend you make your way over to this site for any needs you have, you won't be disappointed!! Thank you; Mary Jane W

I…read morerecently wanted to upgrade my yard and needed some Stone, the inventory matched exactly what I needed and I had a contractor to help me with that project. I opted to get that contractor to pick up the materials for me, to save a buck on the delivery fee, but apparently the contractor says that he did not pick up all of it as we didn't need all of it for the project, but when I talked to the store they said that my contractor in fact did pick up everything. They said Unfortunately this is more common than not, and they were generous enough to work with me to help get me a refund for what was allegedly not taken. Regardless of whatever the truth is, the fact of the matter is that Daniel and his team took care of me and helped educate me as well. I highly recommend this company, and I will be working with them for my future projects as well. Definitely worth the value, I thought the pricing was very reasonable for their products as well.

I was looking for a mini cacti garden and was given many options from a mixed succulent and cacti garden to a simple potted cacti plant.

If you don't know what you want, go to the greenhouse and get educated. They will help you out so much.

Plus we noticed several employees throughout the center helping customers and answering questions. Most of the plants were labeled with the name, price, and care instructions. The center seems very organized and makes it easy to find a plant suitable for your yard/home. They even have an online map on the website. Fairview has indoor and outdoor areas. If you visit on a sunny day I recommend bringing a sun hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. In addition to plants, they sell gardening supplies and have a play area for kids. Per the website, they offer delivery and installation, and host events. Overall, seems like a decent garden center and I look forward to returning.

I've often wondered about that large birdlike sculpture along NC 55. Today I stopped to get a…read morebetter view and found more than I was expecting. I had no idea this was a landscape business where the emphasis is on Japanese style landscaping and gardening. Adding that it also deals in natural rock sculptures is too obvious I suppose, given the name of this business and that large bird thing out by the road. Although it's probably too early in the year to get the full effect of the Japanese garden in various forms the landscape owners have built here, there was still enough green to see how the style incorporates the natural elements in the flora, water, stones and rocks. The display incorporates the elements into different styles to give a taste of how it works to evoke the beauty and simplicity. Sprinkled around are the stone sculptures. There are areas containing ponds, birdbaths, or free flowing water -- some with bamboo -- stone walkways and stone statues, and benches. This is certainly worth a visit, if you're looking for inspiration, but you may not get the full effect until later in the spring.
